In loving memory

Today I learned that this little princess passed away in a mental institution in Eastern Europe.

She died of neglect and starvation. Because nobody cared enough to give her love and food.

At ten she was the size of a three year old.

“We learned that orphans are easier to ignore before you know their names.

They are easier to ignore before you see their faces.

It is easier to pretend they’re not real before you hold them in your arms.

But once you do, everything changes.” –David Platt

Her name was Tsveti.

She died an orphan.

Please help me find a family for Kolya. He is in the same country, in a bad place. Please don't let this happen to him. This is an easy country to adopt from. No strict rules on family size or age. not the most expensive. Please.

I'll cry for you tonight Tsveti, for the life, joy and love you never had.
